Its a Pheonix Jet Power
My uncle and aunt had one which I am guessing was a wedding present, so that dates it to 1957. I had always thought Pheonix only produced two models (Major & Popular). The only really distinctive thing about them was the flex connector into the machine, which was rounded and and a pheonix (i.e. the bird) embossed into it

It does say "Made In Britain"
Mind you Doug, that means nothing as it was quite common for UK companies to re-use US designs, as with the Eureka/Parnall, Eureka/Morphy Richards (Upright), GE/Morphy Richards (Cannister) and I have not had a chance to take some more Bylock pictures for comparison as I recall you said that their design may have been of US origin too Al | ||

Whoops!!!! Al, I am SO sorry! Someone called me today and scolded me severely for not following through on posting pictures. However, now that you've posted yours, this one (and Doug's) looks more like what you are talking about! Rick

Coincidentally, Universal later came out with the Jet99. So there's that word Jet. Universal was made in New Britain Connecticut by Landers Frary & Clark. And that's about all I know! I really like the runners and color on your machine. Sorry, Colour. Rick | ||

No problems
Rick It was no problem whatsoever about the pictures I know you have been busy and indeed it was a while till I found "our version". Thanks for posting the pics of the universal - it certainly has an impressive side profile - I get a hint of 1940s or early 1950s automotive styling there. WHEN you have the chance I would appreciate seeing some more pics of the Super Chieftan please, as that looks great too. Thanks too to Terry for the scolding :) Al | ||
